Crystal Palace v Leeds: match preview

Crystal Palace v Leeds
Crystal Palace v Leeds: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Crystal Palace have had a largely positive first season under Patrick Vieira while Leeds have been a shadow of the side that took the Premier League by storm last year. It is slightly surprising, then, that only four points separate the two clubs thanks to Leeds’ upturn in form since the arrival of Jesse Marsch in February. Despite picking up 10 points from their past four games Leeds are still very much in a relegation battle, which highlights the trouble Marcelo Bielsa left the club in. Palace still need one more win to reach the magical 40-point mark and cannot afford to let the hangover from their FA Cup semi-final defeat linger. Stephen Hollis
